The most notable change to this week’s depth chart was at quarterback, where Nate Yarnell moved ahead of Phil Jurkovec. Jurkovec started Pitt’s first five games and was demoted in favor of Christian Veilleux, but he was still listed as the backup on last week’s official depth chart.

This week, Jurkovec fell further with Yarnell listed ahead of him.

The Pitt coaches also adjusted the depth chart at center, moving Terrence Moore into an “OR” starter with Jake Kradel. Moore has started the last three games in place of Kradel, who has not played since the loss at West Virginia.

The Pitt coaches made two changes to the defensive depth chart. The first was to move redshirt freshman Samuel Okunlola to backup defensive end ahead of redshirt sophomore Nahki Johnson. That move follows Okunlola logging the second-most snaps among the defensive ends on Saturday night, and he is currently tied for the team lead in sacks with three.

The coaches also adjusted the two-deep at the other defensive end position, moving Nate Temple into the first-team spot ahead of Bam Brima. Last week, Brima was listed ahead of Temple but Temple got the start. Temple started the first three games but Brima started the next two prior to the Louisville game. Brima had two tackles against the Cardinals; Temple had one.
